Two maybe three times a week if I don't sleep. I work nights.

The times I do hunt are only partial days...mornings/evenings.

Being retired means I can hunt whenever I want and my wife has no problem with that as long as she gets out on weekends and during the rut. I don't like to hunt in the rain as I have lost several blood  trails...so the weather forecast has the most limiting impact on when I don't.

Usually 1 day (Sat.) a week. I'll try to take a weekday or two off later in the season.

One in a good week, two in a great week.  Work interferes, and church and family functions come first. But it's all good!

I work second shift with two week days off which will dictate when I get to hunt. Like getting off during the week as it is quieter normally. Sunday is no hunting here so it is spent with the wife and new grandson. Looking forward to the time when I can get him and his mother out in the woods again.
The essence of the hunt for me is to enter nature and observe+ return safely occasionally with the gift of a life taken.

1 or 2 a week during season including vacation days.  Wish it were a lot more but diving over a hour away to hunting land, working 8 to 6 makes, and 2 kids under 10 with active sports schedules makes it tough!
More bows than I should have!

I try two days a week but usually averages to 1 day or less a week once I count weekends lost to family events, business trips, other....

I'm what I have heard described as a "weekend warrior"...Hunt on weekends because of other (work or family related) obligations.I may try and slip in an evening hunt occasionaly before time change. Sometimes though I will not hunt the weekend if a good opportunity arises to see my infant granddaughter  :bigsmyl:

No more than once weekly with the exception of the Ohio Traditional Deer Hunt. The kids, wife and house have to come first for me.

Saturday or Sunday for me until the rut and then I'll hunt all day Saturday and a 1/2 day Sunday.

When I hunt elk, I pack in enough to stay in the backcountry for at least a week, sometimes more. I got no place better to be.   :D

I CAN hunt 6 days a week (no Sunday hunting in CT). I DO hunt at least 4 days, barring rain or wife's plans.

Today my plans got rained out. Be at it in the morning.

I only get about 1 or 2 days. I would be able to hunt more during the week but my Uncle's farm is an hour away. By the time I get off work and get there it would be dark.
